Giddens is injured and out for the year.

not sure if this qualifies as news, but:
Robinson out with flulike symptoms

ESPN.com news services
The New York Knicks on Wednesday were without Nate Robinson, who they said has flulike symptoms. Media reports said New York was close to trading the backup guard to the Boston Celtics.

Celtics guard Eddie House told the media on Wednesday that he is part of the deal, according to the Boston Herald.

The team didn't expect any trade to become official Wednesday night.

Robinson, who won his third dunk competition at All-Star Weekend, is averaging 13.2 point per game. House is averaging 7.2 points per contest

Eddie House told he can stay at the hotel tonight.


MSG just said it's Nate for House and Giddens.

Dont mind taking a flyer on Giddens. He was a player I hoped the Knicks would have selected with a late 1st rounder/early second pick a few years ago.

Putrid deal. Not even Walker or a 2nd rounder.

Guys at WFAN are doing cartwheels about this trade saying it's a great trade for the Knicks...They are beating off to the idea of Eddie House reuniting with MDA...I must be living in an alternate universe...

if they can retain house cheaply over the summer AND get a first round pick - it is a very good move. we knew nate wouldn't be back.

House is a decent role player but come on now, he's not capable of taking over a game by himself the way Nate can.. JR Giddens? come on now, he won't see a minute of run except in garbage time w/MDA... why the fug can't we go after picks instead of these bench warming fodder for a guy w/Nate's talent?!?! WHY!?!?!

Source indication that House-Giddens is "one of a bunch of scenarios" involving #Celtics deal for Nate Robinson.

Eddy House was brought in to be Lebron's new Boobie Gibson.

i actually like Eddie House & wanted to sign him to a LLE contract for the past 2 years, but neither him nor Giddens are guys who can impact a game the way Nate can, & i think the Knicks view both these guys as purely cap filler, not really usable assets going forward... maybe House could be extended to a LLE contract next season, but we could have done that anyway w/o making this trade... for us to give up Nate w/o getting any pick or young players who will stick in return is a bad oversight on the part of our GM & our head coach IMO & this could have easily been avoided by trading Nate at the deadline last season.

TMS,

I don't think Nate can impact a game that much better than House. One is a better shooter, and the other is a better slasher. Both are capable of getting hot. But I guess Nate's youth is what makes the difference.

Eddie House cannot take the game over by himself the way Nate can, i'm sorry... he's a spot up shooter that can get hot & hit a few shots in a row but he's not putting up no 40 pt. games & taking the other team on 1 on 5 anytime soon.

I see other reasons why this trade is being done: Nate isn't coming back and they're rewarding him by sending him to a playoff team. This makes them look good around the league to other players because they granted his wishes (Boston, LA, Orlando) and traded him to one of those teams. Knicks look good by helping out their "long time" player.
